Sanji stirred & opened his eyes. He found himself in a very dark room. He looked around & saw Nico coming to next to him. She rubbed her head & moaned.

"Ughh. What just happened?" She asked.

"I dunno." Sanji responded. "The shock must've knocked us out or something." Nico then looked around.

"Then, where are we?" She asked. Sanji then looked around.

"I don't know, Nico." He said, then noticed a light down the end of the tunnel. "But I think I know a way out. C'mon, Nico." Both pirates started moving towards the small light, which gradually got bigger the closer they got. Eventually they came out to an indian village. Both Sanji & Nico were awestruck at what they saw, for the populace consisted entirely of anthropomorphic wolves.

"Okay, this is weird." Sanji said. "Where'd all these wolves come from?" They weren't here a minute ago."

"I have no idea." Nico said, coming up behind Sanji. "This is pretty wierd."

"I know." Sanji said. He lit his cigarette, took a puff, pulled it out of his mouth, & held it in his hand. "1 minute this entire island's got nobody on it except me, you, Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Usopp, & Chopper, the next thing we know, we're in some freaky world run by wolf people."

"I know." Nico said. "We might as well look around." Sanji put his cigarette back in his mouth & the 2 pirates then left the cave & started walking into the village. Immediately, a gray male wolf in a green vest spotted the 2 & pointed at them.

"LOOK!" He shouted. "OVERLANDERS!" Everybody looked at Sanji & Nico.

"Overlanders?" Sanji said, jumping. He then darted his eyes around frantically, looking for overlanders. "Where are they?" He then stopped looking & put his chin between his thumb & index finger. "Better still, what are they?" Nico poked him in the shoulder, getting his attention.

"Uh, Sanji?" She said. "I think he's referring to us."

"Us?" He asked.

"That's right!" The wolf who pointed them out said. He walked up to the 2. "We know all about your kind." Sanji just stared at him, confused.

"You do?" He asked.

"Yes, overlander." He said. "We don't want your kind in our land, it's caused enough grief as is."

"So pirates attacked you?" Sanji asked. The wolf looked him angrily in the face.

"NO, OVERLANDERS!" He roared. Sanji then got serious.

"Look, buddy." He said, poking the wolf ion the chest. "I don't know nothing about no overlanders, see? I was resting on this island here, & touched this freaky stone tablet. & the next thing I know, we're in this freaky place." All the wolves gasped in shock at what Sanji said. Nico noticed this & got Sanji's attention again.

"Uh, Sanji." She said. "I don't think you should've said that, I think you've offended them."

"Really, Nico?" He said. He then looked around at all the staring wolf faces. "Oh, I see what you mean."

"How dare you call us that!" The wolf said angrily at Sanji. He charged at Sanji, & swiped at him. Sanji barely dodged the wolf's attack. He walked backwards & put his hands up to either side of his chest.

"Listen, buddy." He said. "I don't want no trouble here."

"YOU LIE!" The wolf shouted, trying to attack Sanji again. "YOU OVERLANDERS ARE ALL THE SAME!" Sanji started getting nervous.

"But I don't even know what these overlander things are." Sanji said. He dodged another swipe. The 2 then started strafing around in a small circle with Sanji constantly avoiding the swipes.

"Don't be stupid, overlander!" The wolf said, clawing at Sanji. "You know perfectly well what an overlander is. You & that woman are overlanders."

"We are?" Sanji asked.

"Yes, you are!" He shouted as Sanji ducked another of the wolf's swipes. "Your kind will not cause us harm. Not now, not never."

"What are you talking about?" Sanji asked. "I don't want any trouble."

"YOU LIAR!" The wolf shouted, enraged. He swiped at Sanji again, only to miss, again.

"No way, I'm serious!" Sanji said. He dodged another of the wolf's swipes, & was starting to get irritated with the wolf. "Alright, buddy." He said, then dodged another swipe. "I don't wanna hurt you, but if you don't stop, I might have to."

"Ha!" The wolf said, swiping at Sanji once again. "Hurting others is all you overlanders do. You put yourselves above all else!"

"Hey, that's not true." He said. He ducked another swipe.

"Don't lie to us!" He shouted. "We've seen what your kind is capable of." He swiped at Sanji again, who dodged again.

"Yeah well if you don't stop, you'll see what I'M capable of." Sanji remarked.

"Typical overlanders." The wolf replied as Sanji dodged another of his swipes. "All you overlanders ever do is hurt people."

"Well I don't wanna hurt you." Sanji said. "But I think I'll have to if you don't stop." He dodged another swipe.

"Well I'm not about to let you hurt anybody here." The wolf said, swiping at Sanji, who dodged.

"Well I won't if you stop trying to hurt me." He said, dodging another of the wolf's swipes.

"If only I could believe that overlander deceipt." The wolf said, swiping at Sanji, who dodged. Sanji finally had enough.

"Alright." He said. "You asked for it!" He shouted. He dodged another swipe & brought up his left foot after moving so he was directly in front of the attacking wolf. He brought his left foot around so it was on the back of the wolf's neck. "RECEPTION!" Sanji shouted. He swung his foot down, taking the wolf with it. Everybody, even Nico, gasped when they saw this. Sanji took out his cigarette & dropped it next to the wolf's head, then he ground it into the ground. "Remember this." Sanji said. "I didn't want to have to do that, but you kept pushing & pushing me until I got fed up & did it." Sanji then walked off. After a while, Nico started following him. She looked back at the wolf, then over at Sanji.

"Sanji, did you really have to do that?" She asked. Sanji took another cigarette & put it in his mouth.

"I didn't want to." Sanji said. He lit the cigarette & took a puff. "But I had to."

"But there was another way." A female voice said. Sanji & Nico looked to their left to see a 6 foot female wolf looking at the 2. She had gray fur with light gray fur on her face. On each face cheek was a small white line. She wore a blue jumpsuit with a gold ring around her waist. She also had gold bracelets & brown sandals. She also had black hair with white streaks in it. Sanji took 1 look at her & his eye turned into a heart, & he went all gaga. He walked over to the female wolf quickly.

"Oh, you're right, I shouldn't have done that." He said in a lovestruck voice. "If you want I'll go back & apologize to him right now."

"Um, I think if you did that, you'd only make the situation even worse." The female wolf said rather plainly. Nico then walked up to her.

"Um, I'm Nico Robin." She said, then pointed to Sanji. "& that is Sanji. We were investigating this stone tablet on a place called Suibom Island when it sent us to... " Nico looked around at her surroundings. "Well... wherever we are now." The female wolf seemed to spark interest in the stone tablet part.

"Stone Tablet?" She asked.

"Yeah." Nico said. "When I touched it, Sanji came to tryu & pull me off, & we both got sent here."

"Hmmmmmm." The female wolf said. After a while, she pointed at the 2. "I think I might know what that tablet was."

"Well, don't leave us in suspense." Nico said. "Tell us."

"I can't tell you here." The female wolf said. "Come with me & I'll explain it to you in a private place."

"Um, alright." Nico said. The 3 then started walking off, with Sanji closely following the wolf. She turned to them.

"By the way." She said. "My name's Lupe."

"Pleased to meet you." Nico said.

"Me especially." Sanji cooed, causing both females to sweatdrop.

"Is he always like this, Nico?" Lupe asked.

"Nope, not always, Lupe." Nico said. "Just when he's around pretty girls." Lupe chuckled at this.

"When then, have I got a surprise in store for you friend." Lupe said with a smirk.

"Ooh, I like surprises." Sanji said. Lupe looked up & shook her head with this smirk.

"Though I'm not sure he'll like this surprise." She thought to herself. The 3 then continued to walk.
